The Annual Meeting of the club was held on Sunday, December 10th at the Elks Hall. Attendance was sparse with only 160 members present. Officers for next year will remain the same with incumbent Vice President Ross Estabrooks winning election over Michael Gebron. The proposed by law change to have the Finance Committee meet 3 times per year did not pass. At present, the Finance Committee meets once a month at the Executive Board Meetings and as necessary.
Food for the Annual Meeting was provided by Fasano’s and was excellent as always.
This year’s raffle items were provided by Hunter’s Trading Post in Weymouth. Hunters also donated a $100 gift certificate.

RANGE UPDATES

OLD INDOOR RANGE
Planning an expansion of the old indoor range continues. We have received a land survey and a schematic of what the new construction might look like. Persons with experience with planning and construction are needed to assist as we move forward in finding contractors, obtaining bids etc…Persons interested in assisting should e mail the club and outline their experience/knowledge.
In the interim, cleaning of the old range backstop is necessary and is planned. We are waiting for a schedule and expect the range to be closed for one week when cleaning begins.
OUTDOOR RANGES
Additional work is planned for the outdoor ranges to add material to the berms, repair and add baffles, grading etc… Sporadic range closures will be required but will be kept to a minimum. and staggered so that the outdoor ranges not being worked on can remain open.
The camera system to let members know if the outdoor ranges are open or closed by checking our web site should be operational shortly. The delay has been electrical work needed on our outdoor poles. The system is in place and once the electrical work is completed the system will be operational.
Notice to Instructors
- Last Updated: September, 12 2023 04:15: PM September, 12 2023 04:15: PM
Instructors are reminded to submit updated insurance documents and certificates. Failure to do so will result in loss of privileges. The E-board is also discussing additional charges for instructors either in the cost of dues or a per person charge for use of the club. Possibly instructors could become range officers and assist with range officer duty if they are not doing so already.
